[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 196118, member: 1436"] Often I think the disconnect is so real and other times I wonder if it is all manipulation. My son, like yours, has some real issues with temper, following rules, accepting limits, entitlement. He knows if he damages my home ever again, he is out for good. And anything that has happened lately to his belongings has, in his words, been an "accident." Like he accidentally tripped today into the standing mirror in his room and shattered it! It wasn't my property. I wasn't hear to witness. Can't prove anything, but amazingly he had sent me a text a few minutes before because he was so "depressed" he couldn't take it anymore. My response---"I'm sorry." I no longer have expectations for his life. It is sad to say, but I am through hoping and getting hurt. One day he may change, it's yet to be seen, but I will wait until the changes come before I believe anything. [/QUOTE]
